Powered by twin Mercury 250 horsepower outboards, the Avira AB 28 OB demonstrated impressive acceleration and top-end speed during testing. Equipped with four-blade, 14.6-inch diameter props with a 15-inch pitch, the boat reached a top speed of 54.3 miles per hour (47.2 knots) at 5,600 RPM. Best cruising speed was recorded at 3,500 RPM, delivering 30.2 miles per hour (26.3 knots) and an estimated range of 186 statute miles (161 nautical miles). Acceleration was rapid, with the boat planing in approximately five seconds, reaching 20 mph in seven seconds, 30 mph in ten seconds, and 40 mph in thirteen seconds. Handling was confident and agile, with tight S-turns executed without significant speed loss or cavitation. The boat maintained a flat, level ride with minimal wake impact, and the steering system featured a sporty new wheel and standard joystick controls for ease of maneuvering.
Exterior Design and Cockpit Features
The Avira AB 28 OB's exterior design focuses on maximizing comfort, security, and entertainment potential. The higher freeboard and deeper cockpit provide a drier, more secure ride for passengers compared to other sport boats in its class.

Storage is abundant beneath nearly every seat, with gas-assisted struts for easy access and dedicated compartments for batteries and fenders. The cockpit is equipped with numerous cup holders, smartphone slots, and a premium Clips audio system featuring eight full-range speakers, an 11-inch subwoofer, and a customizable digital signal processor for concert-quality sound without distracting indicator lights. The power-assisted hardtop, standing 7 feet 3 inches tall, offers substantial shaded space and can be electronically lowered or folded back to clear low bridges while maintaining captain mobility. The transom includes a large extendable sun pad, custom cool-to-the-touch upholstery, a four-step swim ladder, and recessed handholds for safety and convenience.

The elevated helm station is designed for simplicity and functionality, featuring dual 12-inch NSX touchscreen displays, wireless phone charging, USB ports, and fly-by-wire controls. Trim tabs and joystick steering come standard with the twin outboard configuration. Visibility from the helm is excellent, and the captain's seat includes an adjustable bolster for comfort. The helm windshield incorporates friction hinges to prevent slamming or falling, enhancing safety and ease of use. The helm area also integrates a wet bar with a pullout refrigerator, fresh water sink, and an optional electric grill, all under the protection of the power-assisted hardtop.
